  • This was developed in cooperation with the American Medical Association and the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI). There was even a toll-free phone number, 1-800-HI-WALLY, in which kids could hear a few phrases from their bear hero. Amazingly, it remained active until October 2007, 15 years after the game was released.

  • This was developed in cooperation with the American Medical Association and the National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI). There was even a toll-free phone number, 1-800-HI-WALLY, in which kids could hear a few phrases from their bear hero. Amazingly, it remained active until October 2007, 15 years after the game was released. * The Aggressive Drug Dealer: Ricky Rat and his rock-throwing (as in drugs) minions. * Drugs Are Bad: If Mr. Mackey designed a game, this would be it. * Everything Trying to Kill You: Dogs and birds and drug-pushing rats! Oh my! * Funny Animal * Gamers Are Morons: There is a large red sticker on the top of the cartridge saying "PRESS HERE". * Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Neither Wally's dad nor his uncle wear any pants. * One-Hit-Point Wonder: Wally can only take one hit unless he carries a frisbee power-up. * Sensory Abuse: The hideous apple wallpaper in Wally's living room, as seen above (which also has no furniture for some reason). * Soundtrack Dissonance: Everything is out to kill you as sleepy lullaby music plays. Now that's the perfect way to set the mood. * Totally Radical * Wraparound Background: It's as if Hanna-Barbera designed the levels. * Writing Around Trademarks: The game was originally supposed to be called Wally Bear and the Just Say No Gang, but former first lady Nancy Reagan already trademarked the phrase.
